To our brave brothers and sisters (CDF/Region FD/Volunteer firefighters) waging WAR on the raging fires in California, and the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS evacuated, hope you find some shelter.
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
My very street today.
Looks like a red coal carpet.

In the midst of it surrounded by black burnt hills and smoke everywhere. Decided to stay rather than leave but we are safe. So many have lost so much, we cry.
This morning the winds are beginning to blow again, good thing is, not too much left to burn!
The smoke is horrendous though...

Sry folks, going OT for a beat.

So happy to hear you are safe M-Albion-3D.
Must be terrible for so many ppl to lose so many things.
But things can be replaced.
The true loss is the loss of life. No $$$ can fix that.
Can you share any info on the relief efforts?
Red Cross on scene?
Salvation Army?
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)?.
Can you recommend an agency particlarly deserving of our donations, because you see them doing good works on-scene?
Stay safe. Hope those Santa Ana winds don't whip things up again anytime soon.

Hey Calikid, big thanks for your kind words mate. Well all the massive efforts from both the fire department and police have been beyond commendation, just outstanding!

We, my wife and I, are holed up with no internet or TV. Just radio and cell phone which I'm on right now so please excuse the type.
We can't leave as there is still a under mandatory evacuation, least we'll not be aloud back in.
We have animals so here we stay.
The winds were hideous again today so the air is almost unbreathable...yuck��
Cheers
Mal
